Japanese Anyone?

My husband and I are having a "date" night on Thursday. A rare luxury when you have a three year old and live far from relatives. We had a wonderful experience on Saturday at the Driskill grill (per my previous post), so we have picked another Food & Wine magazine Chef of the Year. This time, we have decided to experience Uchi and one of Food & Wine picks for America's Best New Chefs '05 (July 2005 issue), Tyson Cole.

Here is a quote from F&W on why he was chosen:
"Because he's managed the seemingly impossible task of combining traditional Japanese sensibility with thoroughly American audacity. The result: food that's utterly delicious and wildly inventive."

I hope we can keep our plans and experience it for ourselves. I will let you know on Friday! In the mean time, you can check out Uchi at http://www.uchiaustin.com.
